Exclusive: Devotional startup DevDham shuts down operations

Entrackr 1 week ago

Devdham, the devotional platform formerly known as DevDarshan, has shut down operations nearly two years after raising its seed funding round in January 2024, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The startup's website is currently inaccessible and users are unable to log into its mobile application, indicating a halt in operations. Multiple sources also told Entrackr that the Gurugram-based startup had been inactive for the past few months.

Sources further said that co-founder Suyash Taneja left the company in March 2026. His LinkedIn profile also reflects his departure from the startup during the same period. Another co-founder, Sagnika Chowdhary, had also exited the company earlier in April 2025, according to her LinkedIn profile.

According to sources, Devdham had also explored acquisition discussions with a few larger players operating in the devotional and spiritual-tech space over the past year. However, the talks did not materialise.

Entrackr has reached out to Devdham and Taneja with detailed queries regarding the shutdown, founder exits and the company's future plans. This story will be updated if they respond.

Founded in 2020 by Pranav Kapoor, Suyash Taneja and Sagnika Chowdhary, Devdham enabled devotees to access online darshan, book pujas and make digital donations to temples across India. The platform claimed to have built a network of more than 500 temples and 2,000 pandits across 18 states.

In January 2024, the company announced a Rs 6 crore seed round co-led by Titan Capital, All In Capital, Veda VC and TDV Partners. Overall, the startup had raised nearly $1 million in funding till date.

DevDham competed with platforms such as AppsForBharat's Sri Mandir, Vama, Utsav App, Sutradhar, Ghar Mandir, and 27 Mantra. In 2024, another startup in the segment, My Tirth India, also ceased operations citing a funding crunch.
